Jacques Le Roux commented on OFBIZ-633:
---------------------------------------
In his book (1st edition at least) Jeffrey Zeldman advocates to not be a bigot
for table in XHTML.
Of course he recommends to <<use tables only for their original purpose: the
presentation of tabular data such as that found in spreadsheets, address books,
stock quotes, event listings, and so on.>>
But also :
<<To the kind of standards geek who spends hours each week arguing about the
evils of presentational markup on W3C mailing lists, what we've done here is
evil and harmful. For that matter, we've also sinned by using tables as
anything other than containers of tabular data, by specifying widths and
heights in our table cells and by setting image margins to zero in markup. In
fact, in the eyes of some, this entire chapter is sinful. Some standards geeks
might not think much of this book, quite frankly. In their view, we should be
telling you how to write semantic markup instead of letting you think it's okay
to sometimes use tables for layout.
But the thing is, it is okay. Maybe it won't be okay some years from now, when
designers use and browsers support purely semantic future versions of XHTML and
rich future versions of CSS and SVG. But this is a transitional book for a
transitional time. "Web standards" is not a set of immutable laws, but a path
filled with options and decisions. In our view, people who insist on absolute
purity in today's browser and standards environment do as much harm to the
mainstream adoption of web standards as those who have never heard of or are
downright hostile toward structural markup and CSS.>>
I'm not sure what he is pushing for in his 2d edition however...
